Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients until they are evenly distributed.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes. Ensure your butter is cold, as this will yield a crumbly consistency.
Add the cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter, forks, or your fingers to break down the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. You should still see small pieces of butter throughout the mixture.
Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over your choice of prepared fruit filling in a baking dish.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your nut-free classic crumble topping over a delicious fruity dessert!
